Intelligent Turk.
The recent Turkish armistice led
George Cohan to say:
"The Turk has well been called
unspeakable. I met one once at Pera.
T have seven wives,' he told me,
calmly blowing perfumed clouds from
his hooka.
" 'Merciful powers,' I exclaimed,
'how do you manage to pay their
dressmakers' bills?'
" 'I married dressmakers, son of
an infidel.' he said."?Los Angeles

GLOWING TRIBUTE TO 117TH
ENGINEERS.
tj.;-. ... ... * t*
* (Continued from page 2, column 3.)
cally taken Sedan, our division sector
was moved to the right in order to allow
the French, who were on our left,
4 as a matter of sentiment, to take SeP
-/dan, which they did in great style.
From this front began the hike into
.Germany.
On the March Into Germany.
On the march into Germany, the
engineers were at various times
called on to perform different duties,
all of which were promptly and properly
done without question; they won
commendation and praise from every
source. When they reached Germany
and the division "was set" detachments
and details were scattered
- over the entire divisional area up to
0; the Rhine river, and while other organizations
were resting, the engineers
were building stables, mess
halls, operating public utilities, fixing
electric lights, superintending Ger>
man work on the roads and making
' crosses to mark the graves of their
friends and comrades whose bodies
.
e/f were resting in German soil. In addition
to this, the engineers had to
furnish details for guarding rail
roads, building and operating target
ranges and were supposed to drill
every day. Colonel Johnson, after
much fighting and argument with the
powers that be, finally succeeded in
cutting out or reducing to a minimum
the drill schedule,
v "Carolina, Here's to You!"
Because of sickness and wounded
and other reasons, replacements have
been brought into the regiment until
when we left Germany practically
r' every State in the Union was represented
in our outfit. Their marching
song, however, -continued to be "Carolina,
Here's to You."
* The welfare work of the Y. M. C.
A. in the 42nd division averaged approximately
100,000 francs, or about
$18,000 per month; this, in addition
to the athletic supplies, educational
supplies, newspapers, magazines
and writing paper. The men
of the 42nd division remitted through
the Y. M. C. A. remittance department
approximately 250,000 francs
per m^nth, or about $45,000. In
Germany our organization., in addi'
, tion to its usual work, handled a
money exchange department in which
we handled 1,000,000 marks per
^ month; we averaged cashing about
400 checks and money orders per
month. We had with the 42nd division
25 men and 21 women secre^
taries. We provided moving picture
shows, professional and amateur
vaudeville and minstrel shows, so
that every outfit in the division had
entertainment of some kind nearly
every night. Our organization rendered
.the fullest cooperation with
Abonlofnei vaI?orlmie vxr/\i*lr aiiv

\ educational directors organized classes
in every unit of the division, and
to my personal knowledge numbers
of men who could not read or write,
after a short period of instruction,
w^ote letters to their folks at home
* telling them of their progress. Athletic
supplies were in every unit;
football, baseball, basketball and
other games were in progress continuously.
Musical instruments, costumes
and grease paints were furnished
for all amateur shows, and an
excursion boat was operated on the
Rhine river exclusively for the 42nd
division, and on this boat two representatives
of the Y. M. C. A. provided
refreshments free of charge.

t
When the 4 2nd division on 23 trains
began its movement from Germany
to Brest, the following supplies were
placed on these trains for free dis-i
tribution on the trip of approximate-)
ly 74 hours: 724,500 cookies, 575,000
Chesterfield cigarettes, 2S,750
pieces of chocolate, 23,000 cans of
jam, 460,000 pieces of chewing gum,!
20,700 pieces of chewing tobacco,!
1 1.500 cigars, 2,300 pounds of sugar,)
1.152 cans of rnilk^ 760 pounds of ;
cocoa powder. 1,650 packs of playing)
cards, 3.312 checker games and 5,000
magazines, valued at approxi-;
mately 150,000 francs, or $27,000.

Beginning at Camp Mills, the;
117th engineers regimental head-'
quarters were in ">7 different towns
in France, Belgium, Luxembourg and!
Germany. \Vherever they have gone
their conduct has always been that
of gentlemen. Inhabitants of the var-;
ious towns have invariably expressed j
deep regret when they left. In addition
to their conduct as men and
soldiers when not in battle, their!
work during the scraps has been such
as to merit and receive the admira-,
tion of every one. As was well said
by the division commander in his
general order: "The high quality of |
the personnel, the bravery, self-sacrifice
and patience shown by all}
ranks under the most trying conditions
have enabled it to fulfil its
double mission with an admirable degree
of efficiency," and their record
has been, as was further stated in
this order, "A record of ability, ef
ficiency and soldierly characteristics."
i
Like other engineers, these men
had no opportunity or desire to do
anything flashy or spectacular. They
did their duty as they saw it and
asked for no special commendation
or favors because of having taken
part and performed their share of
the work of saving the world from
the dominion of the hellhound commonly
called the kaiser. The following
verse by Berton Braley fittingly
describes to some extent the work
of our engineers:
The Engineers.
"When the convoy crawls on a long
white road,
Straight to the blazing line,
While the drivers nod as they guide
their load
On where the star shells shine,
If a 'two-ten' drops with a roaring
crash,
The big trucks cease to roll,
And the C. O. growls as he views
the smash
And swears at the 10-foot hole!

I "When the storm troops wait at the '

And each stone bridge is blown,
| And the stream's too deep for the fat

And pontoons must be thrown
Where the water boils with the shell

It's 'Engineers toot sweet,'
They will lose one-half of the men

But build that bridge, complete.

men to get to work as soon as .possible.
They are better citizens than
when they left and they are better

expected of them. I hope that no

for" these men as quickly as possible
I after they are demobilized.
